"By Zeus, you hit like Hephaestus' hammer, Supergirl," Wonder Woman says, smiling at the young blond woman. They, as well as several others, are seated around the large wooden table in the conference room of the Justice League of America's Metropolis headquarters.

"You said a mouthful, Princess," the Flash says, smiling at the Amazon.

"As far too many of us have found out," Hawkman adds, grimacing at the blond Kryptonian. Both male heroes recall their battles with the Maid of Might when she was a brain-washed thrall of Luthor*.

"But I would never . . ." Supergirl starts to reply sheepishly.

"Probably not," Batman says gravely, "but you, and Batgirl too, for that matter, have a bad habit of not following our orders. You were told several times not to take on powerful criminals like Luthor or MixMaster by yourself* , but you ignored us each time."

"MixMaster's ally, Misty, was able to dominate Supergirl due to my own frustration with the villainess' stubbornness," the Amazon admits. "Since Magda's Purple Ray has healed my injuries, as well as yours, we need not be too harsh with our young ally. Also I was rash to let that villaness take hold of my Magic Lasso* - that certainly wasn't Supergirl's fault," she continues.

"Be that as it may, Diana, Supergirl still should have waited for support before entering that warehouse," Hawkman replies. "Now both MixMaster and her partner are free."

"I'm sure they'll turn up, Hawkman," the Flash offers, smiling at Supergirl, "and I'm sure Supergirl will be more than willing to help us bring her to justice, as well."

"I will!" the Girl of Steel replies enthusiastically, smiling back at the Scarlet Speedster. "In fact, I think I know where to begin looking for Misty ..." she finishes, rising from her seat.

"Before you rush off," Batman says sternly, "at least take Batgirl with you - and WORK TOGETHER, ladies!"

"You're not the boss of me" says the Dominoed Daredoll, in a very, VERY low voice.

"What was that?" Batman asks, glaring at his young colleage.

"Just making a mental note to myself," she replies sheepishly. "C'mon, Kara, let's get going!" the girl from Gotham finishes, rising to her feet and looking at the blond Kryptonian. "I can't wait to get outside - these guys are just too stuffy for me," she thinks as she and the Girl of Steel head toward the door.


Outside the League headquarters, darkness shrouds the city. Batgirl slips on a Batman-designed helmet with built-in night-vision optics, hops onto her Batman-customized Batgirl motorcycle and fires up the 1200cc engine. Smiling at the nearly-silent hum of the Batman-modified engine, she pops the clutch and twists the throttle sharply, causing the bike to rear up on its back wheel. As she roars away on one wheel, the Maid of Might rises gracefully into the air and accelerates to keep up with her friend.

Batgirl red-lines her throttle as she approaches the first intersection. "Which way, Kara," she says, knowing that Supergirl is listening with her super hearing. The Girl of Steel replies with super-ventriloquism as she flies over the Batgirl cycle, telling the distaff Dark Knight to head toward LexCorp headquarters. Batgirl expertly leans the bike so far over on its right side that the metal engine guards spark from contact with the pavement. She blasts around the corner, expertly merging with the heavy traffic on the boulevard.

"Great Ghu, she's a maniac!" Supergirl thinks to herself as she flies well above the street and watches the Batgirl cycle weave through traffic, always going faster than surrounding cars and trucks, slipping through holes in the traffic barely larger than the bike. "Flying is safer than riding with her!"

After a few more high-speed turns and adrenalin-rush driving, the duo arrive at the LexCorp Towers building. Batgirl stops her bike across the street and Supergirl hovers just over her colleague's head. "I'll scan the building with my super vision," she says to Batgirl. "Hmmm - quite a few areas shielded in lead," Supergirl says. "Obviously, Luthor would like to keep hidden any stuff that he doesn't want Kal or me to know about. Wait - there's Lex and Mercy, riding down in an elevator. They're at the garage level. They're in the parking area - moving - moving - they just got into Lex's limo."

"Should we follow them?"

"I don't see Misty inside the building, maybe we should . . ."

"Hold it, Supergirl," Batgirl interrupts. "Something just came over the police scanner - there's a heist going down at the Metropolis Gem Exchange - they've called for the Super Crimes Unit! We're only four blocks away - wanna go handle that, first?"

"Sounds better than breaking into LexCorp, which we'd have to do to investigate the lead-shielded areas. All right, let's go, Batgirl!"

Once again, the Batgirl cycle rears up on one wheel and lays rubber as it roars into the nighttime traffic. Supergirl again follows her black-clad friend, floating effortlessly twenty-feet above the street. In a heartbeat, the duo arrive at the Gem Exchange. The Batgirl cycle squeals to a stop beside a police cruiser and Supergirl lands near the officer, her red skirt floating briefly upward as she descends.

"What's up, officer?" Supergirl asks as Batgirl removes her helmet and drops the bike's kickstand. She agilely spreads her legs wide and steps off and over the bike, baring her crotch brazenly and then alighting very close to the young cop. The officer's eyes are wide with interest, and maybe a bit more, as he looks intently first at the black-clad heroine, then at the blue-, red-, and yellow-clad woman. Both have smiles which cause his pants to tent slightly, much to his embarassment.

"S-silent alarm w-went off a few minutes ago," he stammers. He's mere inches away from two drop-dead gorgeous super heroines for the first time in his life. Their scents waft powerfully into his nostrils and the bulge in his crotch gets larger and harder. But with great effort, his professionalism lowers his, uh, 'blood pressure'. "When I got here a few minutes ago," he continues, "I went to the front door and could see those three guards lying on the floor of the lobby ..."

"I see them, too," Supergirl interrupts, scanning the lobby with her super vision. "Hmm - one dead, two bleeding. And you were right about a super villain at work - the metal gate over the front door has been neatly - cut (?). That gate is almost as thick as rebar but it's been sliced like a bagel."

"Busted or cut?" the Dominoed Daredoll asks. "Are you sure it was cut and not ripped down?"

"No doubt, Batgirl," Supergirl replies. "I can see the sharp edge at the top - it's clearly been cut with something - and not a laser."

"Better wait here," Batgirl says to the officer, resolutely striding toward the door. "This looks a job for us, Supergirl."


The two heroines step into the lobby and in a few short moments, the Girl of Steel carries each of the wounded guards outside and gently lays them on the ground. As an ambulance pulls up, she leaps into the air and rejoins Batgirl inside the Gem Exchange.

"There's someone moving inside that gallery down the hall on your left," Supergirl says, again using her super vision. She then leaps into the air and flies down the short corridor toward the room as Batgirl rushes behind her companion.

Inside the dimly-lit gem display gallery, the two heroines spot a hooded figure in . . . black pajamas (?). The curves and bumps which are poorly-concealed by the baggy garment clearly reveal the villain is in fact a villainess. Her entire body is covered in black, from short slipper-like 'booties' on her feet to her short black leather gloves and her hood and costume, made of a cotton-like fabric. Something that looks like a sword handle with a large red jewel at the end sticks up over her right shoulder. "A fuckin' ninja warrior woman in the heart of Metropolis!" Batgirl thinks sarcastically as she enters the room.

"Halt!" Supergirl orders, startling the ninja. She lands lightly beside Batgirl. The villainess, displaying no sense of panic or fear, whirls away from the display case which had her attention and confronts the two heroines. She drops into a defensive crouch, indicating the potential of extensive marital arts ability. Her hand quickly slips toward a pouch on one hip.

Batgirl takes a step toward the ninja and the criminal suddenly whips one hand toward the Cowled Crusader. Even in the dimly-lit room, Batgirl can see a small gray object fly from the ninja's hand. With stunning agility, Batgirl leaps upward and spreads her legs as wide apart as she can. When the small 'throwing star' or shuriken flashes between her legs mere inches below her crotch, she proudly smiles at her athletic abilities. Then she realizes that as she leapt upward, the ninja had loosed two more stars! Before Batgirl can react, a shuriken hits each of her thighs, almost on the inside of each, just as she reaches the top of her jump.

The material of her costume, created by Batman from a mix of Kevlar©, spandex and rubber, stops the shuriken from entering too deeply into her legs. Nonetheless, the stars still manage to bite into the heroine's thighs, enough to cause Batgirl to cry out in pain and land roughly on her butt. Supergirl turns toward her fallen friend and begins to offer her hand to Batgirl, then turns back toward the ninja. The Girl of Steel has a feral look on her face as she confronts this deadly new villainess.

After tossing the shuriken, the ninja takes two long strides toward the heroines, pulls the sword from its scabbard and brings it over her shoulder in one smooth motion, guiding it down toward the Maid of Might's shoulder. As the ninja and her deadly weapon near the Girl of Steel, Supergirl starts to raise her arms in a defensive reflex action. She also suddenly feels an odd tingle ripple through her super body - an odd feeling she hasn't experienced in a long time. "Rao!" she gasps, thinking, "I've felt this tingling before - long ago. What is ... haven't time now for that!" she realizes as the sword cuts through the air toward her head.

The ninja's sword, despite the odd jewel on its hilt, is not a kenji or ceremonial sword. It is a finely-crafted katana or battle sword made from folding together the metal of the cutting edge over 600 times. It is a masterpiece of Japanese sword-making, hundreds of years old. How did the the red rock wind up on the weapon? Perhaps it was added later to enhance the weapon's appearance. The katana is both incredibly strong and amazingly sharp. When the deadly cutting edge hits Supergirl's left hand, between her thumb and index finger, it stops abruptly, jarring harshly the ninja's arms.

The meeting of sword and the delicate-looking feminine hand also causes the Girl of Steel to wince and pull her hand back, shaking it as if she is in pain. Naturally, the skin isn't cut, but could the sword have actually HURT the Maid of Might? As Supergirl looks at her hand, trying to determine why it hurts so much, the ninja recovers from her own setback. Once again she slashes viciously at the woman in blue, this time swinging the sword in a high, flat arc. Before the heroine can react, the deadly blade hits her neck just below her right ear. Again the ninja's steel stops upon contact with the Girl of Steel, again jarring the ninja's arms. The katana falls to the floor beside the warrior woman, clattering on the tile floor.

"AAOOOOWW!" Supergirl suddenly cries, grabbing her neck where the blade had hit. Again, no blood appears but the heroine drops to one knee, her head bent slightly forward as her right hand tries to massage away the intense pain. "Whu-what IS that thing?" Supergirl asks plaintively, looking up at the slightly-stunned ninja.

"Supergirl!" the Dominoed Daredoll asks, still on the floor, still on her butt, "is she actually hurting you?" Blood trickles from the wounds on her thighs and is forming small pools on the floor between her legs. The heroine tries to stop the flow with gauze pads taken from her utility belt.

Before the Girl of Steel can reply, the ninja leaps into the air and snap-kicks one foot at the blonde's head, striking her on the tip of her chin. Again, the ninja is stopped and actually falls to one side on the floor, grabbing an obviously sore foot. Nonetheless, Supergirl also cries out in pain again and flips up and backward, landing hard on her buttocks before falling onto her back. The Kryptonian can't believe the pain in her jaw - from a HUMAN's blow, no less! Slowly the Maid of Might rises to a sitting position and looks through slightly-teary eyes at the ninja. The villainess rises to one knee and pulls a short dagger or dokujin from behind her back, looks at Supergirl, then looks at Batgirl.

"NOO!" Supergirl shouts, suddenly realizing that the woman now plans to go after Batgirl. Before Supergirl can rise off the floor, the ninja whips her arm forward and sends the knife flying through the air toward the Cowled Crusader's head. Supergirl responds as only she can, by taking a quick breath and sending a powerful super puff of air at the flying blade. The gust of wind manages to deflect the dokujin harmlessly off to one side but after finishing her 'puff', Supergirl suddenly grabs at her chest and begins to gasp and wheeze, as if she's unable to draw a breath!

Both Batgirl and the ninja look at the Maid of Might, sitting on her butt, struggling desperately to breathe. A slight bruise is forming on her chin as is another on her neck. The villainess recovers first and does a forward roll toward the black-clad heroine, ending her roll by jamming one foot at Batgirl's face. A loud fills the gallery and Batgirl falls backward, unconscious before her head hits the floor.

Supergirl looks at her fallen friend and concern wrinkles her flawless brow. " Nnn-noo! " she struggles to say, raising one hand, palm outward, toward the ninja, "d-don't hur-hurt her ."

The ninja looks at the gasping heroine and reaches into the pouch one more time. Again she flicks her hand outward, this time at Supergirl, and a small object lands on the floor beside the Maid of Might. There is a loud and a harsh burst of light suddenly floods the room. "Aarrgh!" Supergirl moans as the flash grenade suddenly blinds her. Of course she didn't close her eyes but had tried to continue watching the ninja. When the grenade went off, Supergirl used her super vision to see through the blinding glare. Now pain strikes deeply into her eyes, making them slam closed and causing tears to stream from them. Blinded, gasping for breath, Supergirl wracks her brain for an explanation for her problem.

With one heroine down and out and the second too stricken to act, the ninja rises to her feet, grabs her katana and dokujin and turns toward the back of the room. The woman suddenly stops and looks back at the heroines, then at the door of the gallery. The villainess makes a snap decision and boldly strides across the room toward the two heroines. She drops to one knee beside Batgirl and removes the heroine's utility belt. Quickly dumping the contents onto the floor, the ninja retrieves a pair of plastic wrist restraints and wraps one around the unconscious woman's ankles. After flipping Batgirl onto her belly, the heroine's wrists are tied with the second restraint. The ninja starts to rise then suddenly stops. She grabs a third wrist cuff and turns toward the Girl of Steel, still sitting on the floor, the palms of her hands massaging her teary, blinded eyes.

Supergirl is briefly shocked when she feels something wrap around her booted ankles. A startled gasp escapes her wheezing mouth when her ankles are pulled together. She can feel something binding her ankles together! She can't see what's holding her ankles together but she can break almost anything! She tries to spread her legs, then suddenly wails piteously like a pig with a pole shoved up its ass as tremendous pains lance through her thigh muscles. Supergirl falls over onto one side and bends her legs back at the knees, pinning her thighs together to try to ease the stabbing pains. "H-How can this happen to me," she moans silently, "I'm ... I'm Supergirl!"

With the Girl of Steel bound and, for some inexplicable reason helpless, the ninja reaches down and lifts the comatose Batgirl off the floor and tosses her over one shoulder like a sack of cat food. The ninja heads to the back of the room and opens a vent she prepared for an emergency exit. Batgirl is unceremoniously dropped down a long shaft to the basement of the Exchange, landing with a solid at the bottom. The ninja slips into the hole in the wall and slides down a knotted rope. Behind her, the Girl of Steel lies on her side, sobbing and moaning from the unexpected pains wracking her super body.

"Whu-what's ... what's wrong with me!" Supergirl cries to herself during a break in her sobbing. She can hear booted feet on the floor behind her - obviously police of the Super Crimes Unit coming in to 'mop up' behind the two heroines. Supergirl hears them skid to a halt, no doubt shocked at the sight of America's mightiest heroine on the floor, bound, helpless, and crying.

"Good Lord, Supergirl, what's happened here," detective Harvey Bullock asks roughly as he kneels beside the Girl of Steel. "Monaghan said two of yew super chicks came in here - so where's the Bat and what's happened to youse? Garcia, cut that thing off her ankles!"

Patrolman Garcia licks his lips together, then drops beside the Maid of Might and slips his K-bar knife between her boots, holding her by her short heels and looking appreciatively at her thighs and the thin blue strip of fabric visible through her skirt. Flopping on the ground had hiked her skirt up above her waist, baring her blue panties. As he lifts her legs off the ground slightly, she gasps in pain, then shrieks when he cuts the tie and jostles her legs together.

"Christ, Garcia, whatcha doin' to her?" Bullock blurts. "And how yah hurtin' this super chick, anyway?"

"I don't know, boss," Garcia says, rising and stepping away from the Girl of Steel. His eyes still linger over the woman's fantastic-looking legs.

"Well, whatever yer doin', stop doin' it!" the detective roars, "an' go out to the van! Call the Justice League, tell them we got one of them freaks down and another missin'! Uh, don't say 'freaks', Garcia, when you talk to them, okay?" Turning toward the stricken heroine, Bullock squats beside her and gently puts a huge calloused hand on one shoulder. "Can I do anythin' for yah, sweetheart?" he asks solicitously. The still-blinded Maid of Might, her curvaceous body filled with throbbing stabs of pain, just weeps.


Flash and Hawkman arrive outside the Gem Exchange as the Girl of Steel is carried out on a stretcher. "What happened?!?" Hawkman gasps as the Girl of Steel is loaded into an ambulance.

"Nnoo!" Supergirl protests, struggling in the web belts of the stretcher. "D-don't have time for this. LET ME GO!" she shouts, feeling somewhat better. Instinctively aware that something is wrong with her super powers, she refrains from trying to burst the nylon webbing holding her in place.

"Better let her go, Doc," the Flash says to one medic. "Don't want to get her mad on you, trust me!"

Supergirl is quickly released from the stretcher and helped to her feet by Flash and Hawkman. Harvey Bullock joins them as the Maid of Might stands on unsteady feet beside the taller men.

"Batgirl and Supergirl here went into the Gem Exchange about twenty minutes ago," Bullock explains, "and when we went in five minutes ago, she was tied up on the floor, moanin' and cryin', and Batgirl was missin'," he continues. "I got a dozen guys inside checkin' the building for her but so far, nuthin'."

"Muh-Must ... Must be Red K," Supergirl manages to say. She's standing beside the Flash, one hand on his shoulder to help her stand. Even so, she's swaying gently, pain still throbbing in her thigh muscles. "Must be red K ..." she mutters again, closing her teary eyes.

"What's that?" Hawkman asks.

"There - there was a jewel ... on her sword ..."

"SWORD! What're we dealin' wit' here!" Bullock interrupts loudly. "Goddamned costumed freaks," he mutters to himself.

Ignoring the detective, Supergirl slowly tells the men how she and Batgirl entered the gallery and confronted a woman dressed and equipped like a ninja warrior. She explains that the villainess' sword had a red jewel on the hilt. "It must be red K," Supergirl continues. "I think she knocked out Batgirl and took her prisoner," Supergirl concludes.

"Ain't that the stuff that makes you Kryptos go all weird on us?" Bullock asks, thinking "well, weirder, I guess".

Supergirl admits that each chunk affects her and Superman differently. It might change their bodies, change their powers, or do other bizarre things to them. The effects of an exposure can last for thirty minutes or many days. Finally, after a deep sigh, she tells them that this piece of red K seems to cause a kind of backlash whenever she uses one of her sun-fueled super powers.

"Every time I used a super power against the ninja," Supergirl says, "my body had a powerful and violent reaction to that power. Using invulnerability meant I was especially sensitive to pain, super breath meant trouble breathing, and using my super vision meant eye troubles. And when I tried to break whatever had bound my ankles, I thought my leg muscles were on fire." As one, the men instinctively look down at the heroine's legs, then back at her face.

"Fine," Flash says, "I'll just carry you back to League HQ and you can rest there until this stuff stops knocking you out of action."

"Thank you, but I can't do that, Flash. Batgirl is in trouble - I've got to help look for her," the weary super woman says.

"But if using your powers causes you so much pain, how will you be able to find or stop this ninja?" Hawkman asks.

The Maid of Might looks at the man and sighs. "I don't know. You're right, of course, I can't use my powers. But I can't sit on the sidelines, either. I've got to do something!"

"Just rest up, Kara," the Flash says, wrapping his arm around her shoulder in a friendly hug. "Carter and I can cover a lot of ground - we'll see if we can't find Batgirl for you, okay?" Supergirl reluctantly nods yes.

"Can you that she gets back to League HQ, Detective?" Flash asks Bullock, who nods in reply. The two heroes step away from the heroine and the cops, Hawkman leaps into the air and Flash races away.

"Hey, what's with the blinking light on Batgirl's motorcycle?" Officer Garcia asks.

The heroine and Bullock move to stand beside the Batgirl cycle and see a blinking red light on the bike's dashboard, superimposed over a map of Metropolis. The light is slowly, ever so slowly moving across the display. Supergirl has a revelation, then frowns when she sees Batgirl's utility belt in Garcia's hands. Well, if not in her belt, maybe there's a locator in her costume ...

"Let me have that belt, officer," Supergirl says, reaching toward Garcia. She takes the belt from the cop and cinches it around her waist, which apparently is almost the same size as Batgirl's.

"I put most of her stuff back into it the belt, Supergirl," Garcia explains. "Couldn't get some stuff in ..."

"That's fine, officer, it may be a great help." Supergirl throws one leg over the Batgirl cycle and puts the helmet over her head - again the fit is as if it was designed for her body. The Girl of Steel fires up the bike and raises it off its kickstand, then briefly tests the controls. "I shouldn't have any problem driving this," she thinks to herself. "Fortunately, Batman didn't put any anti-theft gadgets on the bike!

"Detective Bullock," Supergirl says through the closed helmet, "I think Batgirl has a tracer in her costume. Maybe that's what this blinking light is. I'll follow the light on the bike and see where it leads me. I can always call the JLA if I need any help."

Supergirl slowly moves the bike into traffic, following the movement shown on her dash display.


There were at least half a dozen auto accidents in the next half hour as male drivers gaped at the lovely woman in the vibrantly-colored Supergirl suit, riding a motorcycle through downtown Metropolis, cape streaming behind her, red skirt flapping up, revealing her creamy thighs and blue-clad butt. Supergirl was unaware of the damage she was causing - she was too intently looking looking at the dashboard display and trying to keep the bike moving forward.

Forty minutes later, the light on the dashboard indicates that Supergirl's quarry has stopped moving. As she stops the bike near an isolated subway station on the outskirts of downtown, she desperately looks around for the possible hiding place of the ninja warrior woman. "Where can they BEEE!" she plaintively asks herself as she removes the helmet and hooks it on the handlebars. Supergirl turns off the motor and steps off the bike after taking one last look at the dashboard. "They must be in the subway somewhere. Maybe that explains how the ninja could cover so much ground carrying Batgirl," Supergirl reasons.

A minute later the Girl of Steel descends to the deserted subway platform - no riders this late at night. The station is eerily silent. Suddenly, the Girl of Steel hears a deep grinding noise, like metal scraping on stone, echoing and amplified by the train tunnels. But which way!? Taking a guess, the Maid of Might heads down one of the tunnels, running along the service walkway. She momentarily forgets herself and starts to use her superspeed. A crippling charley-horse savagely rips into her calf muscles, reminding her of her new limitations. Shrieking from the eye-watering pain, Supergirl pitches forward and lands hard on her knees as one of her hands reaches down to massage the aching muscle. "Can't ... nnnn ... can't use your powers, Kara!" she chides herself, trying to ignore the severe pains in her legs and knees.

Using the tunnel wall for support, Supergirl slowly, painfully pulls herself to her feet and limps back toward the station platform. "I better use the bike's radio to call in the League," she ruefully admits, biting back the pains in her legs. As she slowly moves toward the 'up' escalator, she hears a loud from the direction of the exit. Then the escalators stop and lights begin to wink out over the escalators and the station platform. "Great Scott!" she gasps, "the station must be locking down for the night!" From a position at the bottom of the escalators, she can see that a metal grate has descended from the ceiling, blocking the entrance. She's locked in the subway, unable to reach the radio on the bike. She would have to exert a lot of energy to get through that gate, causing a backlash that might kill her or worse!

"Looks like it's going to be up to me, now," she tells herself. There are a few security lamps on the platform, making the area at least brighter than the subway tunnels. Supergirl now regrets that she didn't call the JLA for support before she came down here. "And why didn't I even bring a flashlight from the Batgirl cycle! Maybe there's one ... YES!," she cries, finding a small mag-light in one pouch on Batgirl's utility belt. Feeling the pain in her legs subsiding, the Girl of Steel holds the tiny light before her and heads back down the tunnel in search of her friend. The sound of her boot heels striking the tiled floor of the station harshly breaks the silence of the darkened subway.

"Hmm," she thinks, "this is like a cheesy superhero movie, where the villain has a criminal command center deep under the subway, complete with library, a 'cement pond', nice furniture, and a sex kitten. As if!

"I hope I can find the entrance to that ninja's lair in this dark ... wait, what's this?" She's reached an indentation in the tunnel wall. There's a metal door in the recess; a sign on the door says "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY" and below it another sign warns "OUT OF SERVICE".

"No, it can't be this easy, can it?" the Girl of Steel wonders. "Of course, maybe that ninja woman can't afford a super criminal's hideout, either." Supergirl tentatively grasps the door handle and gives it a gentle turn - avoiding the risk of using her powers and getting a painful reaction. A smile crosses her face as the door starts to open. She pushes on the door to open it wide enough for her slim body to enter when the bottom of the door drags against the cold stone beneath it - a loud grating sound fills the tunnel! Supergirl gasps at the sudden noise, then grimly steels herself for inevitable combat with the ninja. No element of surprise, now!

Supergirl enters the room behind the door and finds a long flight of steps heading downward. Using only her mag-lite to light her way, she slowly descends into the stygian blackness. "Before that red K, I could have flown down these steps in no time, using my super vision to see ahead!" she thinks ruefully as time and her descent continue. Finally, some forty steps later, she sees the last step, fatigued by the effort of not using her super powers on the long descent. Cagily, the Maid of Might reaches the bottom step and shines her light ahead of her. No need for stealth - the scraping noise that door made could be heard down here by Helen Keller!

As the Girl of Steel passes a small side room, she hastily sweeps the light around the room and halts abruptly at the sight of Batgirl, lying on the floor, bound and unconscious. Once again the Maid of Might checks her surroundings for signs of the ninja. "She must have gone out again," Supergirl muses to herself. "If she was down here when I opened that door, she would have heard me."

Supergirl enters the room which holds her stricken compatriot and moves across the floor toward the Cowled Crusader. Just as she reaches Batgirl, a pair of legs swings down from above and two feet hit Supergirl on her back, on the "S" on her cape. The ninja had been hanging on a pipe near the roof, waiting to ambush Batgirl's rescuer(s).

As the ninja's feet slam into the Maid of Might, her body naturally tries to defend itself, tensing leg muscles to remain in place, tightening others to protect her back. The result is a massive shock of pain for the Girl of Steel as the muscles rebound from their super use. Screaming, arms flailing at her sides, Supergirl flies a few feet and slams into the wall near Batgirl. Again muscles try to protect her super body, causing additional pain to wrack the heroine's body. Barely conscious, Supergirl falls onto her butt, then onto her back, writhing in pain.

"So, who are you?" the ninja finally asks as she walks to and stands over the stricken Supergirl, one foot on either side of the blonde's head..

"I ... I'm Supergirl, and you're in a lot of trouble," Supergirl replies valiantly, looking up at the black-clad vixen. Supergirl starts to rise off the floor but the ninja jams a heel onto the "S" on Supergirl's chest, pinning the Maid of Might to the floor. Supergirl grunts as air is pressed from her lungs.

"You sure don't seem like the Supergirl I've heard about," the ninja says, grinding her heel into Supergirl's chest, spreading her tits apart in the process. "You don't seem very super at all, blondie!" the woman taunts.

"Just let me up ..." Supergirl snarls, squirming futilely under the ninja's heel. What SHAME! Pinned to the floor because she's unwilling to use her mighty muscles against this mere human female, fearful of the pain sure to follow!

"If you're Supergirl, I don't HAVE to 'let' you up, now, do I?" the villainess taunts. "I'm just a mere mortal. You should be able to mop the floor with me."

"Nuh ... Not feeling 100 percent right ... now," Supergirl grunts as she writhes on the floor beneath the woman's soft slipper-like bootie.

"I was going to keep the Batgirl here for a few weeks, see what information she has that might be useful to me," the ninja explains. "Then I'd unmask her and sell photos to anyone willing to pay.

"Now I think I'll tie you up, too, and see what you can tell me," the ninja decides. "After you experience enough pain, you might even tell me who Superman really is." Supergirl's eyelids narrow and her nostrils widen at this threat to her cousin. Seeing such insolent behavior from one so utterly useless as a crimefighter, the ninja GRINDS her heel into Supergirl's chest. As the blonde's body tries to resist, her chest muscles suddenly begin to tighten and cause a new source of pain for the heroine.

"Nnnnhh ... Ruh-Rao, s-stop it," the heroine blurts out.

"Mighty superheroine, eh?" the ninja taunts. "Get up!" The ninja's leather-clad hand grabs Supergirl's tunic at the neckline and the Maid of Might is yanked up to her feet. She totters on feeble legs, still wracked with pain, and looks up at her tormentor through pain-filled eyes. "I see you need to learn your place if we're going to be roomies for the next few weeks," the ninja says menacingly.

"I'll admit you're pretty thick-skinned, blondie," the ninja says, pulling Supergirl away from Batgirl. "Every time I hit you, it hurts me as much as it seems to hurt you. So I won't hit you. I think I have other ways to hurt you." A trace of fear flickers through Supergirl's eyes as the Maid of Might stumbles across the floor, pulled by the ninja's firm hold on the blue tunic. The ninja suddenly spins around and does a hip throw, tossing the Girl of Steel onto her back. Supergirl lands hard on her neck and head and wails as her muscles try to protect her body, only to inflict pain instead.

Before Supergirl can recover from this toss, the ninja woman picks up a lead pipe and, as the Girl of Steel rolls onto her hands and knees, the villainess brings the pipe down on the back of the heroine's head with a loud . The Maid of Might collapses onto her belly and tries to cover the back of her head with one hand. Again and again the ninja batters Supergirl's body and head with the pipe until it finally cracks in half. The heroine lies flattened on the floor, barely conscious, moaning softly.

Supergirl needs time to recover from the pain but the ninja grasps the heroine's red cape and pulls her up onto her knees, her arms dangling limply at her sides. Turning rapidly, the villainess is soon spinning like a top, holding the Maid of Might by her cape, feet flopping useless as she's spun about. After a dozen revolutions, the ninja releases her captive and the Girl of Steel flies across the small room, slamming knee-first into a metal wall. Momentum carries her upward/forward and her belly, breast and chin also hit the wall - HARD. The heroine cries out in pain and falls to the floor, her legs in a jumbled heap under her blue-clad butt.

Before Supergirl can rise off the floor on her own, her blond hair is grabbed and again the Maid of Might is pulled to her feet. This time, the ninja spins around and does a shoulder toss, throwing the Girl of Steel by her golden tresses across the room to slam, headfirst, into a support beam. There is a loud as the yellow-headed heroine slams into the unyielding metal post. Her unconscious body drops unceremoniously down onto the floor with a loud .

"So much for her!" the ninja says, turning away from the beaten blonde. The villainess walks to one wall and picks up a length of chain plus a padlock. She returns to the heroine and tightly wraps the blonde's arms and wrists together, then runs the chair over an overhead pipe, leaving the Girl of Steel hanging from the ceiling. Satisfied that the chain is strong and tight, the ninja uses a padlock to keep Supergirl's arms bound.

"Now it's time to show you who's the boss, Bats!" the victorious villainess says to her bound and black-clad victim. After using more chains to tie Batgirl to an overhead pipe, her arms still bound behind her back, her body leaning forward, the ninja says, "C'mon, wakey wakey l'il batty batty." The ninja's left, gloved hand cradles Batgirl's jaw, then raises Batgirl's face upward. Ninja ruthlessly backhands the Cowled Crusader's face, snapping it first one way and then the other, following loud sounds.

"Ooohh ... st-stop it!" Batgirl moans as she regains consciousness from the pain. The chains and plastic wrist straps force her to lean forward and hang from her arms, painfully. The slapping by the ninja just increases the pain she feels as her face and body shake back and forth on the chains. "No - no more, please!" she begs as the beating continues.

Ninja finally stops punishing the Cowled Crusader and breathes heavily after the exertion she's done. "Maybe - maybe this will get you to talk with me," the ninja says, recovering her breath. She goes to a work table along one wall and grabs a short box which she then carries back to the distaff Dark Knight.

"Now, the first thing I want to know, batty, is your name and address," the ninja says, stooping to look into Batgirl's half-closed eyes. "We have lots of time and I've got a good supply of electricity, honey, as you can see!"

"AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!!!" Batgirl screams as the 600K volts of the stun gun rip into her young body.

"AAAAAIIIIEEEE!!!" and "AAAAAIIIIEEEE!!!" as the torture continues until drool runs down Batgirl's cheek and her eyes close.

"Let's see what this does to the mighty Supergirl," the ninja says as she turns toward her blond captive. Supergirl is struggling back to consciousness and looks blearily at the villainess as she approaches.

"Whu-what ... what do you want from us?" Supergirl asks.

"I told you, you dumb blonde, I want information - about you, about the other heroes. And I'll keep punishing you two until you tell me all I need to know. Then I'll dispose of you - maybe sell you to white slavers. What do you think of that?"

"Nnoo, we ... we won't co-operate with ... someone like you ... against our friends," Supergirl replies valiantly.

"I think before I use Mr. Stun on you, I'll play with you a little bit, Supergirl," the ninja says menacingly. She moves to the workbench, drops the stun gun and grabs a new tool. Moving to stand behind the Maid of Might, ninja leans forward and puts her mouth beside Supergirl's head. "For some reason, you aren't using your super muscles against me. It's like you don't want to use them. Now, what if I can get you to use your muscles? Think that might hurt a bit? Hmmm, I think I'll see what lots of pleasure does to you and your mighty muscles, Supergirl," the ninja says, blowing softly into Supergirl's ear. Shoving the long device into her belt, the ninja reaches around to the front of the Girl of Steel and lightly grabs her large round breasts. Slowly kneading the round mounds, the ninja occasionally pinches a nipple as she gently caresses the Maid of Might. In a few moments, a huge smile crosses the ninja's face as a moan escapes from the lips of the Maid of Might.

"MMnnnh ... n-no ... st-stop this ... nnnnhh stop, puh ... please stop," a confused Maid of Might stammers as incredibly nice feelings wash over her super body. She tries to concentrate on something else, she tries to think about beating villains, but can't escape the sensuous feelings coursing through her body.

As the ninja caresses her captive's lovely breasts, she can feel the heroine's nipples fill with blood and tent the superfabric. The nubs swell to the size of a man's thumb from the ninja's ministrations. As one hand continues to caress, knead, and pinch one breast, ninja's left hand slides down across Supergirl's washboard abs, evoking another groan from the heroine. As Supergirl dangles and twists in the chains, lost in a sensual reverie, the ninja boldly slides her left hand down between Supergirl's belt buckle and her tunic, down to the pubic mound covered by her red skirt.

"MMMNNNAAAAAHAAHHH!" Supergirl cries out as her love mound is touched by ninja's gloved hand. "AAAAAAHHHH!" she moans even louder as one of the ninja's fingers penetrates her love canal and teases the small nub of her clitoris. Slowly, softly, expertly, the ninja's hands toy with Supergirl's breasts and clit, exciting the heroine's libido. "MMMMNNNNHHH, n-nooo, puh-please MMMMNNNNHHHH stop ... don't ... stop!" the heroine pants and cries as titanic waves of pleasure course through her super body. "Puh-Please ... stop!" she begs, suddenly realizing that if she climaxes, her super muscles will flex and tense her body and the reaction will be unendurable pain!!

"Ohhh, yeah, baby, you LIKE this, don't you," the ninja says as she gleefully watches the Maid of Might bounce and twist in her chains. As the Girl of Steel enjoys the sexual caresses of the villainess, the ninja pulls her hand away from Supergirl's breast and removes a long, slender rod from her belt. Slowly, teasingly, the ninja slips the 20 inch long stun baton around the blue fabric between Supergirl's legs and into her vagina. As the thick metal probe enters the heroine, she moans loudly, then sobs.

Ninja removes her hand from Supergirl's clit and stands slightly behind the heroine, tromboning the stun baton into and out of the Maid of Might, faster and faster. After a few moments, the Girl of Steel suddenly begins to scream and moan and arch her back as an orgasm builds in her super body. Despite her desire to not have one, Supergirl feels a mighty sexual release coming. This may kill her if it causes enough muscles to spasm at full strength, she realizes. She also realizes that she's no longer in control of her body. It has betrayed her and now only wants sexual release.

Ninja grins evilly as she watches her victim 'ride' the stun baton. At times, over half of the length of the baton slides into the heroine. Ninja has to hang onto the rubber handle to keep control of the baton. Suddenly, Supergirl starts to press her thighs together and arches her back. Her eyes are closed, a rapid series of little moans slip from between her lips, and her hands make little fists. "THAR SHE BLOWS!!" the ninja says in a mocking voice as a powerful orgasm rips through Supergirl's body. As the heroine begins her climax, the ninja presses a tab on the stun baton and 500Kv of juice arcs into the heroine's most vulnerable spot, inside her vagina. The ninja has to quickly release the baton, still buried inside the heroine, as her creamy white legs snap together with such super force that the handle of the baton is crushed like a roll of paper.

"AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Supergirl screams, almost deafening the ninja. The chains rip apart and fall from the ceiling as the Girl of Steel spasms and thrashes from the twin shocks of the orgasm and the stun baton. As she flops on the floor, screaming, her hands go to her breasts and cunt, furiously massaging her clit and teasing a breast to sustain the mind-numbing orgasm, even as it causes incredible pain to her body. Almost every muscle in her lithe body tenses and tightens as the super orgasm overwhelms her mind and body. After flopping on the floor for several minutes, the heroine's exhausted body finally stops convulsing and her hands fall limply to the floor, no longer sustaining the massive climax. Supergirl's eyes are barely open, grimacing from the incredible pain she feels.

" N-no ... more puh-please," she begs, looking at the villainess through narrowly-slitted eyes. Her body trembles as waves of pain course through her muscles, leaving her weaker than a human female.

The ninja retrieves the stun gun from the work table and advances on the crippled blonde. "Tell me your secret identity, Supergirl, and Superman's, as well, or prepare for a repeat performance. I can do this all day to you, not-so-super girlie."

Supergirl struggles to raise an arm or a leg to defend herself but the red-K effects on her body, on her muscles, have left her too weak. The ninja reaches the blue-, red- and yellow-clad heroine and uses a bootie to unceremoniously roll her over onto her back. As the Maid of Might looks up at the villainess, the ninja drops to one knee and puts the 600Kv stun gun against one nipple. Despite all the pain she's experienced, the nub is still large, still tenting the fabric of her tunic. "... no ..." Supergirl manages to say is a weak, beaten voice, then and she screams as the stun gun fries her nipple and her body tries to defend itself. Muscles tense, others relax, but nothing helps her survive the incredible pain of the stun gun. After less than a minute, her eyes close and the Maid of Might slips into blessed unconsciousness. The ninja slaps Supergirl's face a few times, then gives up, realizing that the unconscious heroine won't answer any questions for while.

"Okay, Bats, you're up again!" the ninja says, turning toward her other captive. Batgirl is just now opening her eyes and when she spots the ninja approaching, carrying the stun gun, causing sparks to leap between its leads, Batgirl's lips form a silent "no" - she's too weak to even scream for help.

The ninja reaches the black-clad heroine who's hanging weakly from chains tied to pipes in the ceiling. The ninja grins evilly and asks Batgirl, "So, are you ready to tell me your secret identity, girlie?"

Behind the ninja, Supergirl suddenly opens her eyes. Her body aches intensely but she can feel an odd tingling again - the effect of the red-K is wearing off! Rising slowly on one elbow, still greatly weakened by the ravages of what her body did to itself, Supergirl moans from the pain.

"Ready for more?" the ninja asks as she spins around to face Supergirl. "My, but you must love my little electrical toys. Too bad you crushed the stun baton - you seemed to really like it. Well, we still have this one, don't we, blondie." The ninja moves toward Supergirl and squats beside the heroine.

Propped up by one elbow, the heroine looks through bleary eyes at the approaching villainess. "Great Ghu, I hope I AM recovered. I've somehow got to defeat this woman before she harms Batgirl any more!"

The ninja holds out the stun gun and places it against Supergirl's jaw, sending 600K volts of energy into the Girl of Steel. The shock knocks Supergirl onto her back but that's mainly because she's still too weak from her ordeal to resist the force of the shock. Again and again the ninja holds the stun gun against the Maid of Might's super body - first a tit, then her stomach, then her pubic mound, then the side of her head. after fills the room as frightful energy hits the Girl of Steel. For the most part, she lies on the floor, trying to regain her star-fueled strength. The shocks do still irritate her and cause her super body to bounce on the floor, but they don't cause her worry or pain any more.

After a few minutes of electrocution, the Girl of Steel grimly rises on one elbow and with her other hand, grasps the stun gun and the ninja's hand. A quick twist and the ninja releases her hold on the stun gun, shaking her hand as if several bones in it had been crushed. Supergirl looks at the weapon a second, then crushes it into a plastic and metal blob. "I'm back, villainess, and it's time for you to go to jail!" Supergirl intones at the shocked ninja.

Both women rise to their feet and Supergirl reaches for the ninja's shoulder. Expertly, the villainess grabs the heroine's wrist and executes an expert hip toss - except nothing happens. The ninja is facing away from Supergirl, holding the blue-clad arm, but unable to move the heroine. Supergirl quickly bores of this and taps the back of the ninja's head with one finger, knocking out the villainess.

"Thank goodness red K only works one time on us," Supergirl thinks to herself as she crosses the small room to the ninja's workbench. At the bench, Supergirl leans on the bench with one hand while her other hand goes under her skirt and between her legs. She pokes around for a moment, then grunts as she pulls the remnants of the stun baton from her vagina. Disgust written all over her face, she tosses the vile thing, still covered with her juices, onto the workbench. A heartbeat later, she picks up the katana and easily removes the alien jewel from the hilt. "This one is pretty nasty," Supergirl decides, "not something Kal would like to experience. Best get rid of it for good," she reasons. Supergirl finds a lead pipe lying nearby and wraps it around the chunk of red K. She sticks it into her belt for disposal later.

Supergirl frees Batgirl from her restraints/chains and holds the unconscious heroine up by wrapping an arm around her back, one creamy white hand mere inches away from the bulge that is Batgirl's left breast. As the pair move across the floor of the subterranean room, Batgirl's right arm flops up and down across the front of Supergirl's tunic, across her breasts. Supergirl's body quickly responds to the gentle, if unplanned, caresses and once again her nipples tent the blue fabric of her top.

"Mnn - better, uh, better set you down here until you recover," Supergirl says as she helps Batgirl sit on the steps outside the small room. "I'll help you up the steps in a minute. I want to tie up the ninja woman first."

Supergirl goes back into the small room and uses her heat vision and strength on the broken chains to make metal bands, which she then uses to bind the ninja's elbows and wrists (behind her back) and knees and ankles. Supergirl finishes just as the ninja regains consciousness. "LET ME GO, YOU MUSCLEBOUND DYKE!" the ninja yells as Supergirl tosses the villainess over one shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Outside the room, Supergirl helps Batgirl to her feet and together, the two heroines slowly, painfully begin the long climb up to the subway. Supergirl realizes that she's still too weak to fly all three of them up the steps. As it is, the trip takes maybe 30 minutes or so.

Supergirl, slightly winded, and a heavily panting Batgirl reach the top of the steps and slowly move down the tunnel, back to the subway station. As the trio arrive on the platform, there is a terrible rending noise at the far end of the platform. Supergirl drops the ninja onto the platform and steps in front of Batgirl. "Better let me handle this, Batgirl," the Girl of Steel tells her heavily fatigued friend. Supergirl scans the far end of the platform with her super vision, then smiles.

"Or maybe not," Supergirl says to Batgirl, grinning. Suddenly there is a and flash of red and the next second, the Scarlet Speedster is standing in front of the two heroines. A heartbeat later Hawkman flies down the steps and joins the group.

"Sheesh, you girls look like crap," the Flash says, demonstrating why he can't get dates. "I saw the bike outside and called Carter. He, uh, 'unlocked' the gate for us."

"We've had a rough night," Supergirl says wearily. "I'm just glad you're here and it's over." The Flash grins when he hears that the Girl of Steel is glad to see him.

"Well, what happened, Supergirl?" Hawkman asks. "What about your super powers?"

"I'll tell you both tomorrow, okay? Right now, I think Batgirl and I need to go home and get in bed, okay? You guys see that this woman is charged with breaking into the museum and killing that guard. Here's the sword she used." After handing over the sword (minus its gem), Supergirl picks up Batgirl and the pair fly out of the subway station and land near the Batgirl cycle. A few moments later, the bike fires up and pulls off, with Supergirl riding on the back seat of the bike, her arms wrapped around the thin waist of the Dominoed Daredoll.

As they leave, Flash turns to Hawkman and smiles, winks, and says, "So, they're goin home and getting in bed, eh? Wonder what THAT'S like, eh, Carter?"

"You're a pig, Flash."
